Emperor Wu, who had just finished bathing and put on his casual clothes, saw the little eunuch walking in.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Chen Mohan would like to see you."
"Quick! Let him in!"
"yes!"
After a while, Chen Mohan had already entered the hall.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
He quickly saluted.
Emperor Wu waved his hand and asked, "How is Yang Ao's matter?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yang Ao has been taken into custody and everything will be done according to Your Majesty's will. No mercy will be given lightly!"
"Well, that's very good."
After saying that, Emperor Wu frowned slightly.
"Where's Pei Tianlin? Didn't he have any reaction?"
When something like this happened, Pei Tianlin behaved fiercely in the court today, but in the end he chose to endure it.
Wu Di couldn't figure out whether this old guy acquiesced in his decision or had ulterior motives.
Chen Mohan continued to hand over.
"According to the observations of my subordinates, Pei Tianlin does not seem to have any unusual behavior."
"And after Yang Ao was arrested, he didn't go into the dungeon to visit Yang Ao. He seemed quite calm."
"But according to my speculation, he probably thinks that this matter has little relevance, and wants to fish Yang Ao out after a while!"
Chen Mohan quickly guessed what Pei Tianlin was thinking.
This is also a normal thing. With Pei Tianlin's ability, it is easy to fish someone out of the dungeon.
Emperor Wu naturally thought of this and his face condensed slightly.
"In that case, give Yang Ao as soon as possible."
He raised his hand and made a gesture.
Chen Mohan asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you mean to send him away directly?"
"It will be all right."
Emperor Wu didn't care.
"This guy has been with Pei Tianlin for so long, and he was the commander of the imperial army before! With him around for a year, I find it hard to sleep and eat well!"
"Whether we kill him directly or destroy him, there is only one principle, which is that he will never be able to live well!"
"Since you are in jail, you must pay a heavy price!"
Emperor Wu had long been dissatisfied with Yang Ao.
Chen Mohan handed over again.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. With my ministers here, everything will go as Your Majesty wishes!"
"Well, I believe in your ability."
Emperor Wu nodded with satisfaction.
Not long after, a playful smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"By the way, Chen Mohan, regarding Xia Nianqiao being molested by Yang Ao, was this a trap set up by Lin Yiqiu?"
Emperor Wu was not sure.
Because Lin Yiqiu didn't tell him specifically about this matter.
And looking at Lin Yiqiu's aggressive performance today, it really doesn't look like he's acting!
After hearing this, Chen Mohan also frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Your Majesty, I don't think it looks like it."
"Are you saying that Yang Ao really intended to molest Xia Nianqiao?"
Emperor Wu still found it incredible.
This Yang Ao is Pei Tianlin's most trusted confidant. He has outstanding abilities and has never failed in his mission.
But this time he stumbled because of such a stupid thing. This was not something Yang Ao could do.
After hearing this, Chen Mohan explained carefully: "Reporting to your Majesty, at least in my opinion, all of this happened naturally."
"Last night, Governor Lin invited me to drink, and then Yang Ao suddenly appeared, and then he appeared in Miss Xia's room inexplicably. You said that this guy has no idea, I really don't believe you!"
As he said this, Chen Mohan started laughing.
"Furthermore, Yang Ao himself is a very cowardly person. He could do such a thing only because of his undisguised lust!"
"Besides, regardless of whether Yang Ao did it or not, as long as he appears in Miss Xia's room, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clean him!"
"No one could have predicted all this. If it was really planned by Governor Lin, my subordinates can only marvel."
Chen Mohan said sincerely.
To him, planning to bring down such an arrogant and capable person was a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
Although Lin Yiqiu had previously expressed his intention to win over Zhao Bingzhong, he took action so quickly and successfully achieved his goal. This sounds incredible!
Chen Mohan couldn't believe that all this was a trap set by Lin Yiqiu. He wanted to think that this was a coincidence and an unexpected surprise.
Emperor Wu didn't say anything more, he just frowned and thought about something.
After a long while, Chen Mohan saluted and said: "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will leave first and you can rest early."
"Well, you go down first."
Emperor Wu waved his hand and said.
After Chen Mohan left, Emperor Wu was still thinking about it.
After a while, he smiled.
"Once something too coincidental happens, it doesn't seem so coincidental anymore."
"Lin Yiqiu, it seems that I did not misjudge you!"
"In that case, I will follow your good intentions and win over Zhao Bingzhong completely!"
Clenching his fists, Emperor Wu already had a plan in his mind.
The next day, there was a morning meeting.
Above the main hall, after waiting for the ministers below to report various government affairs, Emperor Wu turned his head and looked at Pei Tianlin.
There was a smile on his lips.
"My lord, the abbot, is so silent today, which makes me a little uncomfortable."
Since going to court, Pei Tianlin has been standing there without saying a word.
It seems quite abnormal compared to before.
However, Emperor Wu didn't know that Pei Tianlin was still wondering whether what happened yesterday was an accident or a set-up!
He was also speculating on Emperor Wu's true thoughts.
After hearing about Emperor Wu's culture, Pei Tianlin replied: "Your Majesty, I'm just feeling a little unwell, so I don't want to say more. Please forgive me."
"The father-in-law is not feeling well? Is it because he was angry about what happened to Yang Ao yesterday?"
Emperor Wu pretended to care.
"Master Zhang, it's really not worth it to do something for such a lustful person! Such a guy has brought shame on our country, Wu!"
"I didn't execute him directly! This is already a great kindness to him!"
"This bastard, he almost triggered a war between the two countries!"
There was still anger in his heart, and the more Emperor Wu talked, the angrier he became.
Pei Tianlin saw this and spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I think so too, but I just feel a little uncomfortable without such a subordinate to serve beside me suddenly."
"I believe that in a few days, I will gradually get used to it."
"Well, this is naturally good."
Emperor Wu's face suddenly showed a smile.
"Yesterday, I appointed Zhao Bingzhong as the leader of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. If he is here, he will definitely be able to replace Guiying's position."
"My lord, this Zhao Bingzhong is a talented person. Although I am not familiar with him, since he was the first person recommended by my lord, I believe in his ability!"
Deliberately avoiding any contact between himself and Zhao Bingzhong, this was also a way to avoid Pei Tianlin becoming suspicious.
"Yes, I would like to thank your Majesty for your trust."
Pei Tianlin also pretended to hold his hands in front of him.
But Emperor Wu hadn't finished speaking yet and continued to speak with a smile.
"Master Zhang, there is no need to rush to thank you, I have one more thing to announce."
